When the second pressure sensor 17 on the inner wall of the fixed clamp frame 14 installed on the movable plate 7 is connected with the circuit board to be clamped, the controller 18 stops the further extension of the horizontal cylinder 10, and starts the extension of the longitudinal cylinder 9 built into the cavity 8, so as to cause the longitudinal cylinder 9 to push under the action of the connecting block 12. The movable clamping frame 13 moves downward, and when the first pressure sensor 16 arranged on the inner top surface of the movable clamping frame 13 is connected with the circuit board to be clamped, the controller 18 stops the further extension of the longitudinal cylinder 9 to safely clamp the circuit board. When the circuit board needs to be flipped, the stepper motor 4 installed on the left support plate 2 is started to rotate 180 degrees, prompting the movable plate 7 of the left support plate 2 to rotate 180 degrees, and then the right support plate 3 adopts the connecting column 6 and the other movable plate 7 connected to the bearing seat to rotate 180 degrees, so as to realize the flipping operation of the circuit board, so as to facilitate the double-sided plug-in and patch of the circuit board.
